My political thoughts atm

(Anonymous) 2017-11-30 09:07 am (UTC)(link)
I don't think Republicans understand just how much the American public in general (not every person, but many) hate them at present. They're the bullies who got into power and are trying to shove all their own pork products through into law, to please their moneyed masters. They're the hypocrites who talk about protecting the children then turn a blind eye to child molesters if it's one of theirs. They love gerrymandering if it's in their favor. Of course a vote from the "inner city" shouldn't count as much as a "land owner's in Texas." They code-talk about racism that doesn't fool most people anymore. Their fake "trickle down" policies never worked and most people aren't buying it anymore. They're not pro-life when they're anti woman and anti baby in every single possible way aside from banning abortions.

In short, with the current power they're trying to do as much evil as they can in the short amount of time left to them, fucking the public and saying to hell with all of you: we've got ours. The level of corruption and evil is obscene. To many people right now, they're just evil.

I don't think they'll ever have this kind of power again. They've done it to themselves. I think the party will be dying out within my lifetime. And good fucking riddance.

Now, this doesn't mean I think the Democrats are all fucking saints. The two party dichotomy of having to pick one party as evil and the other automatically being good has done a real number on America. Unless there is serious form at ALL levels you can expect to see massive levels of revolt and breakdown in society.

It's already starting. Maybe tptb don't care as long as they have the police force to bully their will onto the people, and the wealthy think they can shield themselves from the repercussions of their greed and evil even while people are dying, but I don't think that can go on forever. Every oppressive empire will be taken down from the inside if it won't reform its ways.

And the more they try to outlaw peaceful change, the more likely it is that people will either revolt in small ways or that a powderkeg point will eventually be reached. They've forgotten that America was based on rebellion. That means a stubborn bunch of people who always think they know best and sometimes shoot themselves in the foot with their rebellion...against literally anything. But there comes a point when the government should really not want that aimed at them, from all levels of society, across all the divides.

When the people can legitimately say, holy shit this government is evil, it doesn't represent the people, and there's no legitimacy to it...things start to break down at every level. And yes, I think that's where we're at already.

The wealthy don't care. They're sitting pretty, talking about the economy and Wall Street like it's the entire country and all that matters. The politicians ... well, you know what they're doing. But the people who are more marginalized and traumatized every single day by the lack of say in their own lives, oppressive laws and taxes and bosses and rules that very, very clearly are only for the little people, and bending over every day to let capitalism unleashed have its dirty way with them...I think this country is nearing the end of what people can and will endure.

And I don't know when the powderkeg moment will come, or what it will be. I think many of the population are holding out hope things will improve after a round of elections.

All I have to say is that the government had better fucking hope so. I've lost so much respect for my country at every single level.

And yeah, I'm one of those people who always wanted to do the right thing with taxes. I've always said, I don't mind paying my share, I'll do my best. I'm at the point now where I'm thinking of how I can work under the table and stop giving them their greedy, bloated, fucking share to hand over to the corporations who are fucking me over too. If I'm thinking along that lines, then what are people even less disposed to trust and like the government doing?

I support nonviolent change or revolution. I just feel the window for it happening is beginning to narrow.

I want to believe this, but I go to news pages and the comments are full of people 'explaining' how we need to keep them from passing Net Neutrality and giving the government the ability to restrict what we see, and to continue letting the free market decide the internet. No net neutrality!

And I just... I'm sure some of them have to be trolls, but I just feel like politics has become a religion to too many conservatives and they'll gladly walk hand in hand into a burning building as long as their heroes tell them the 'libtards' want to trick them into believing burning buildings are bad.
